Have you ever had an idea for a perfect polish color but couldn't find anything like it on the market and you don't have the means to make your own polish? Enter Joy Lacquer! Did you know Joy Lacquer has been making polish addicts dreams come true by working with them to create their own custom polishes?!

Joy Lacquer is excited to announce its first Pop Up Boutique for custom polishes! You have seen all of the amazing customs floating around, here is your chance to grab the over pours for yourself! Polishes will be starting at just $5.00! The Pop Up Boutique opens at 6:00 am (PST) 9 am (EST) on August 1st. Quantities are extremely limited so set your alarms and shop early for best selection!

Joy even made my custom polish dream come true and I get to share it with you today! I'm excited to introduce you to 'Aquamarine Dream' a collaboration between Polish & Plates and Joy Lacquer.

Aquamarine Dream
The inspiration: Aquamarine is my birthstone and although I've seen a number of aquamarine polishes marketed none of them seem to do this stunningly simple gemstone justice. Joy Lacquer helped create my 'Aquamarine Dream': a UV Aquamarine crelly filled with tons of iridescent glitter. When you step outside the polish shifts to a sky blue, sort of like how in your dreams reality tends to shift.

UPDATE (8/3/15): Due to the overwhelming response to Aquamarine Dream during the Pop-Up Boutique Joy Lacquer is taking additional orders for this polish for a very limited time! Order yours today for only $8.00! Click here to get yours today!

I was able to pre-purchase a few of the customs that will be available in the shop in order to swatch and review for you! It was really hard to choose because Joy and those who had the ideas for these customs did a really amazing job.

Baby Ray is a layering gray polish with blue and purple sparks. It has pink micro glitter and a light linear holo finish. Becasye the base of this polish is very sheer I played around with a base to layer it over and concluded that it was destined to be over Shellfishly Not Sharing from the Mushiko Date for Two Collection which is a pearly pink and oh so pretty.

(LtoR) Baby Ray over White, Shellfishly Not Sharing, No Base

Nothing a Little T&A Can't Fix is a galactic light blue when warm to dark blue when cold. The finish is smooth but looks like an infinite galaxy. If you like blue (like myself) this is a must have thermal polish. This beauty is practically a one coat wonder.

Sexy Beast is a deep teal (green undertones) with a strong gold flash. Think peacock feathers in a bottle.I've shown this in 3 coats but you can get away with two. Thinner then the others in the order I made but by no means too thin. Love the gold flash! "I love Gold!"

Classy, Sassy and a Little Bad Assy - is a pearly peacock blue/green holo polish with a touch of chrome.This was a surprise polish in my order. I couldn't decided from all the polishes that are going to be offered so I told Joy to send me one I would like. She must know me pretty well because this polish is just stunning! Almost a one coat wonder.

And the beauties do not stop there!! There are several other beautiful customs that will be available! Hop over to the Joy Lacquer website and instagram account to see more and make your wish list!

*Aquamarine dream was a collaboration between Polish & Plates and Joy Lacquer and was provided to me as a gift. I purchased the custom polishes at the sale price in advance of the sale.

I love Sassy, Classy, and a little bad assery! It's a perfect shade of teal so gorgeous! I love the Aquamarine Dream, and the purple holo (I didn't see a name). Purples my favorite color so I love anything purple but this one was soooo pretty!
